    My sipping phase lasted no longer than 3 weeks. After the first few weeks, I was able to drink liquids of all temperatures (from steaming hot to iced cold) normally.

    I had to sip for the first 3-4 weeks. My stomach would get terrible air bubbles and it felt like I was dying. About 2 weeks pre-op I called to schedule my first Nutritional appt and the woman who made the appointment suggested to drink ice-cold Water with little pellet ice cubes. I bought a bag from Sonic and it made such a difference. I'm also able to take in about 2 decent gulps of water but I can't do that more than once every 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it's easier to keep sipping.

    I think I was done baby sipping after the first week. At 3 weeks out, I still don't take big gulps. I do drink at a regular pace though, and have no problem finishing a 16oz bottled Water in under 5 minutes. I was drinking beverages of all temperatures at about 3 days post op as well. I did not like drinking beverages at room temperature, and found that I drank more when my beverages were cold. Warm water has always made me nauseous anyway.

    I had RNY and had gas issues for about 7-10 days. Remember you just had major surgery only 3 days ago. You will have pain getting up from your incisions because they cut through muscle and moving aggravates that. Your best bet is to walk, walk, walk. That eases pain and moves gas around and out quicker. Let yourself heal and don't over exert yourself to soon. You got this! You will feel better every day.

    I'm so sorry I didn't see this! I hope your procedure went well! I'm now almost a full week post-op. I'm 10 poundsish down from my day of surgery weight. Thankfully having little to no pain, except when I sneeze. I can get up and down on my own now, usually without a support pillow, but sometimes that's needed. Taking zofran as needed along with gas-x to reduce pressure on my tummy. BTW post-op Constipation is no joke! Wish I had started trying to address it sooner. Staying hydrated and eating is kind of challenging, I'm getting really bored of Protein Shakes, plain greek yogurt, and Soup. Overall, I'd say all is well and I'm making progress in a good direction!

    I check-in at 5:30, surgery around 7 a.m. I have been telling my husband all weekend that I'm not sure I can do this. I'm so scared. But I know I will go through with it because it is what I need to do. I've tried everything else and failed. I eat pretty healthy but I eat WAY too much and have a hard time stopping. I think the Sleeve will be a good fit for me.
    I was on a 5 day liquid diet and 1 small high Protein meal. The last two days have been liquid only. Won't lie. I'm a little hungry.

    Good luck ladies! We can do this! If anyone is interested in being buddies on here/email/text let me know. I'd love to talk with someone along the way who has started the journey at the same time as me. [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

    I, too, have my surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning. I check in at 6:45AM. My surgery is scheduled for 10AM. Crazy how time has flown by!. I started this journey at 225lbs. I currently weigh 210lbs. I am excited to see what the sleeve can do for my weight loss goals! I wish all of you the best of luck tomorrow. I will say a special prayer for all of us. I hope that everyone has a quick recovery and you you all receive the best support. I am not looking forward to the emotional rollercoaster that the hormones will put us through, but I know that I am not in this alone. Thanks for your support!
